COUNTY COURT.

The case of Edward F. Root VS. John
and John G. Gray, occupied the atten-
tiOn of the county court from Wednes-
day afternoon of last week up to yes
terday afternoon. The whole affair
involving a dispute over piece of land
worth less than SIS has been ii bone of
contention between these two old men
for years. This trial alone will cost
the state nearly if not quite $1,000, and
nobody knows what the other costs
have been. The jury returned YER
dict, after being out for an hour or so,
for the defendant. F. w. Baldwin
and Bates 81 May appeared for the
plaintiff and Idle & Stafford for the de-
PENDANT.
The famous Thomas Ward arson
case comes on this afternoon. There
is every indication that this will be
one of the most interesting and closely
contested cases that has been heard in
the county court in recent times.
Lawyer Prouty of Newport has been
engaged to assist Ide & Stafford in be-
half of the state against Ward, and
Judge Thompson of Irasburg and
Lawyer Lamson have been engaged to
assist Bates & May in the defence.

Entertainment at st. Agnes Hall.

The first of the series of three enter
tainments by the ladies of the sodality,
of the b. V. NJ, was given in st. Agnes
hall Tuesday evening. The opening
address was delivered by C. Thibault
of Ottawa. This was followed with an
entertainment consisting of vocal and
instrumental Duets and number of
dramatic performances in English and
French, altogether giving evidence of
good deal of ability on the part of
the performers. Last evening there
was instrumental music followed with
an interesting address by G. Thibault.
The series close this evening with
another concert and address. The
funds secured by these entertainments
will be applied to the purchase of a
pipe organ for the new Catholic church.

A True Vermonter.

A True Vermonter.
A certain man who used to live in
st. Johnsbury, occupying cosy home
on the brow of the hill at the foot of
Summer street south of the reservoir,
but whose name is withheld for obvi-
Gus reasons, used to remember his gar
dener every Christmas with bounti-
full supply of useful articles that went
long ways toward making a Christ
mas dinner. Not long ago this man
moved to California to a place not a
thousand miles from National City,
and the old gardener thought he was
out his usual Christmas dinner, that is .
he thought so until Christmas came
and with it the same old contribution
which the old time benefactor, though
thousands of miles away had not for
gotten. Somehow these Vermonters
carry big hearts under their waistcoats
and have good memories.

Paving Off a Debt.


The Presbyterian society is making
an effort to pay off its debt with fair
promise of success. The amount of
the debt is about $4,000. The effort to
reduce it was begun about three weeks
ago. all subscriptions being condition
al on the entire amount being raised
and the debt paid. All but about 800
has been subscribed, aud the society
feel sure that this will come in. When
this debt is wiped out it will find every
church in the town of st. JOhDsbury
free from debt. This place furnishes
good many jokes in the course of a
year because Gifts multitude of church
es, but somehow the religious societies
seem to have better success in paying
off encumbrances than is the casa ia
some places where there are larger
populations but less churches.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

AS the village meeting is close at
hand the voters may be interested to
know something about the condition
of the various hose companies, how
they are equipped and what facilities
are furnished them for doing their
work. This ought to be of special in
terest just now while the efficient work
done by the department at the fire in
the Caldbeck shop in Paddock village
is still fresh in mind. From fifty to
one hundred thousand dollars worth of
property was saved at that time to the
village. In view of this fact it seems
a strange sort of economy that leaves
the department miserably equipped for
the service that is expected of it's mem
bers.
Hose company No A has IL members.
They have ready for use four rubber
coats, which it is no easy task to di-
vide among IL men unless miracle is
performed this company has but a
single pair of mittens, two rubber caps,
two pair of spanners, (they ought to
have at least 15) there is not whole
"bOOt" in the company and when a
piece of hose bursts the only way to
repair the damage is to cut off and put
in a new piece, delay that might
mean thousands of dollars damage in
the progress of fire.
Hose company No. 5, about the
same number Of members, has three
rubber coats. There is neither a nit
ten nor a hat in the company and but
two "boots," both of which were made
for different hose from that now in use
and are of no practical value whatever.
the hose company at Fairbanks viii
lage, Hose Co. No. l, tired long ago OF
asking for needed implements and are
somewhat better supplied having
bought spanners, hydrant wrenches,
etc, and paid for them out of their
own pockets.
The members of the various hose
companies get the enormous sum of 81
for attendance upOn a fire, certainly
not sum sufficiently large to expect
fremen to furnish their own nipple =
ments to work with.

He Didn't Come Back.

The man known as Nelson French,
who has figured more or less promi-
nently here as a trainer of Texas hOrs-
es, is wanted by parties for whom he
has done business. On the 18th he
took one of the horses belonging to
man in this village to Hanover, N. H.,
with instructions to sell it for what it
would bring; he borrowed saddle
belonging to second man, a third
man loaned him pair of spurs, a
fourth loaned him an overcoat, a fifth
a watch, he owed local stable keeper
81, and one merchant $15 and another
So and SO on. Monday he sold the
horse at Hanover for $50 and also sold
the borrowed saddle, and the last
heard of him he had bought a ticket
for White River Junction and hasn't
been seen since. The Texas horse is
demOralizing animal.
